Andy Page's Rival Henry Lawson, 1889 Editor's note: This poem is at the beginning of the story "Andy Page's Rival" by Henry Lawson, which he later expanded into a full poem, "Middleton's Rouseabout". Tall and freckled and sandy,        Face of a country lout; This was the picture of Andy —        Middleton's Rouseabout. On Middleton's wide dominions        Plied the stock-whip and shears; Hadn't any opinions —        And he hadn't any "ideers".
